PROVIDENCE -- The campaign to bring a casino to West Warwick rolled out its latest promotional vehicle this afternoon -- a blue bus emblazoned with a call to voters to approve a casino question this November . Narragansett Indian Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas and other casino supporters plan to tour several cities and towns over the next five weeks aboard the 40-foot bus adorned with the phrase: "Support the Narragansett Indian Casino -- Vote Yes on Question 1." Voters will be asked in November whether to change the state Constitution to allow the gambling facility in West Warwick, to be owned by the Narragansetts and their partner, Harrah's Entertainment Co. Posted by Steve Peoples CommentsHENRY BAPTISTA | September 15, 2006 10:25 AM link I hope all of this money spent by Harrah's goes toward a loss on November 7th. It would be great to see them spend millions on campaigning, and still have nothing to show for it because Rhode Islanders couldn't be fooled. Same goes for the Narragansett Indians. Your agenda won't work here. Bob | September 15, 2006 12:10 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil. Vicious comments, personal attacks and profanity won't be published.
